J Rhode Island Reds Formed the
Largest Class—High Qual
ity in All Breeds.
By F. J. MARSHALL.
fl MEMPHIS. TENN.. Sept. 28.—The
fl poultry show at the Tri-State fair this
fl nP .*k opened under the most favorable
fl conditions. The weather was ideal.
I While the management had their hands
fl full in looking after and placing the
S large exhibit, .vet owning to their ex
fl pcri'ii'-e in the matter everything went
fl along like clockwork.
fl The association owns its own coops
fl of a uniform type, which are left placed
fl in the poultry building from year t •
fl j ea r which of course saves them the
fl great work and worry of tearing down
fl and replacing each year.
fl The exhibit -was large and varied,
fl Tie s. C. Rhode Island class was tin;
fl largest witlt 175 birds entered. This
fl class was certainly one of quality in
fl all parts of ft and showed up a little
fl unusual from the point of containing so
fl many out male birds, and of great qual
fl tty, too. There were something like
fl 6o pullets on exhibition with many of
fl them good enough to make the old
fl breeders’ eyes water to look them over.
■ The cockerels, were good, but appar
fl entiy not so well developed. The pens,
fl ten in number, were all good, but not
fl as uniform in color as one would like
fl tn see after second pen was passed.
Great Red Class.
■ Ail in a!!, they were a great lot of
fl Reds and such as were worth going
fl many miles to see, and such as can
fl only be found in the great Red section
fl of the South, becoming more and more
fl noted each year for its famous fowls.
■ The Barred Rock class was another
fl large and splendid class, one breeder
■ having 40 entries on exhibition. While
■ the single entries were fine it seemed
■ to us that the pens contained the most
■ quality. It looked good to see these
■ old veterans, the Barred Rocks, wheel-
B Ing into line again. It seems that they
B are coming into their own again after a
B little lapse while some of the newer
B farts were taking a turn at the wheel.
B The 3. White Leghorns, as al-
B ways in this country, was a large and
■ important class, with about 100 in the
B single classes and thirteen pens, which
■ made a most excellent showing. The

Mixed Feed for Fanciers
Poultry does not feel cold as keenly
as do human beings. The blood of
poultry is five degrees warmer than
that of human beings. This is the
reason that birds of all kinds consume
more feed according to weight than do
human beings or the brute creation.
They need more fuel to keep up the
heat. When allowed to sleep out of
doors the call for fuel is still greater,
so housing comfortably is good econ
omy.
Remember, it is not the breed, but
the breeder that must bring success.
There is no guesswork, no happy-go
lucky methods with the successful
breeder, no trying this plan this year
and another next, but always work on
the same line, and the result is most
satisfactory. The man who thinks,
then works on that thought, generally
succeeds: while the man who depends
entirely upon his hands more often
makes a failure.
Poultrynn n who are undecided
whether or not to buy a green bone
cutter should bear in mind that a good
cutter will pay for itself in increased
egg production in a single season. This
is not an idle dream, but an actual
fact. Besides the increase in egg pro
duction. the feeding of green bone adds
variety to the ration, promotes vitality
ami growth and is withal cheap but
valuable food. Every poultryman should
own a good bone cutter.
Nothing pays better for the money
invested than chickens, if they are
properly handled: but to be profitable,
much care must be exercised. Because
the hens will give returns under ad
verse circumstances is the reason they
are neglected so much, but the better
they are treated the better the returns
you will receive from them.
Arrange for a supply of second
growth clover. Be sure it is nicely
cured and put it away in gunny sacks
for use next winter. Aside from al
falfa. there is nothing equal to good
clover hay as a "green” food for poul
try in the winter. It contains a large
percentage of lime and adds bulk to the
winter mash. Be sure to lay in a sup
ply.
There is no better time than the
present to buy foundation stock for
next season's breeding pens. Good
breeding birds can be secured now for
one-half of what it will take to get
them early next spring, and in some
cases much less than half. Breeders
need the room for their growing stock
and ar willing to sacrifice their old
birds oftentimes. We would advise
those who are going to need new blood
next spring to get ft now.
More liens suffer from lack of grit
than from almost any other cause.
There are large sections of the country
where no grit can be found. In these
sections it should be furnished.
Keep the laying hens busy in
scratching a good part of the day, and
they will eat more and lay more, f-'eed
them plenty of ground green bone. pul.
verized shells, grit and green things.
All of these, including scraps of meat,
contain the elements needed by the
laying hens.
Most of the failures in Hying to op
erate poultry far .? have been brought
about by trying t<_ keep too many fowls
at first. Begin on a small scale and
work up to your limit. You may be
s trpfised to find Low few you can keep
at a profit, and you may find that you
were born to be a poultryman. Trying
it is the only way to get at the truth.
Tin dty feeding system is meeting
with increasing favor. Breeders who
have tried one season of it claim that
the egg production is increased, and
they have more uniform growth with
the young stock The feed boxes are

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS'.SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28. 1912.
Manager of Southland Poultry
Farms Has Been Raising
Fancy Fowls 20 Years.
There is no fad that will take a firm
grip on a man or woman more quickly
than fancy poultry. There is none that
will better repay the time and money
expended on it.
That these statements are true is well
evidenced by the experience of O. A.
Muse.
Mr. Muse is al present the manager
of the Southland Poultry Farms, at
Clarkston, Ga., and there isn’t a better
equipped, better stocked and more
prosperous looking plant in Dixie. The
rule of absolute cleanliness and perfect
health are so well enforced here that
to the casual onlooker poultry rearing
would look to be a dream of indolent
profit-taking. Os course, it isn't that,
but the strict rule of cleanliness and
health that Mr. Muse applies makes
poultry breeding profitable, even if it
does call for a lot of hard work.
Twenty years ago this fall Mr. Muse
was waiking down Pryor street one
day. His attention was attracted by a
poultry show—one of the first, by the
way. ever held in Atlanta. He dropped
in. casually, just to see what there was
about a chicken that justified holding
an exhibition.
He came out with a severe case of
“chicken fever” and he has never got
well to this good day.
Mr. Muse started out with White
Cochins, Silver Wyandottes and Brown
Leghorns, strictly fancier’s fowls, all
of them. He bred them well, in spite
of the difficulties that beset him and
have beset all who have dallied with
such pains-requiring chickens, until ten
years ago. when he saw his first pen of
Buff Orpingtons at an Atlanta show.
The Buff Orpington of that day was
a crude fowl as compared with the
beautiful fowl it is now. but Mr. Muse
was taken with it from first sight and
it has been his hobby ever since. He
has raised thousands'of them and has
won hundreds of ribbons at state and
Southern shows.
A year ago he transferred his own
flock to the Southland Poultry Fanns,
strengthened it with some judicious
purchases, and added splendid stock in
Whites and Blacks.
The Southland farms made a fine
record in the two Atlanta shows last
winter. The pen of Buff Orpingtons
which won a blue in both shows was
one of the finest of its kind ever seen in
the South.
Mr. Muse has on range at Clarkston
now more than 1.000 young birds—
healthy, vigorous and well bred.
Everlasting cleanliness is the main
slogan of the farm. It means success
with chickens.
COLUMBUS EXPECTING
MORE THAN 1.500 BIRDS
< OLI’MBUS. GA., Sept. 28.—The Co
lumbus Poultry association, which will
give its show this year in connection
with the Georgia-Alabama fair, No
vember 27 to December 7. announces
that it will have 6,000 feet of floor
space at the fair for its own exhibits
More than 1,500 birds v. ill be shown,
some of which will be from Alabama.

These will be in addition to the large

that It will give them a looseness of

that kind for the fowls.
Every poultry keeper ought to make a
special study of the best down-to-date
findings as to balanced rations for fall
and winter feeding. The investigations
should be as exhaustive as possible.
The value of high authorities ought to
be m agnized in this matter
See Nat Goodwin in Oliver
Twist at the Forsyth.
Ration For Layers
A question which has been frequently
asked in the Institutes I have attended
is, What is a good ration for a laying
hen ?
That question answers itself, if you
give it a thought. We will ask our
selves this question—What is an egg
composed of? Seventy-four per cent of
the egg is water. Now. how necessary
it is that a hen should have water
every hour of the day—nice, clean
water. Because it is impossible for a
hen to lay many eggs without water.
When the housewife opens an egg in
a saucer and examines it. and the egg
Is not so nice as she would like to see it.
the white of the egg is watery and the
yolk is pale, she thinks the hen is sick,
but that is not so.
When the white of an egg is watery,
it shows that we are not feeding a good,
well balanced ration. The lack of pro
tein in feeding causes it. Fourteen and
a half per cent of the egg is protein.
That is the white of the egg.
We must find a ration rich in protein.
That we can do by feeding plenty of
clover and wheat bran and wheat mid
dlings. What is the result? The white
of the egg Is thick and attractive.
Ten and a half per cent of the egg Is
fat: that Is the yellow. If the yellow Is
pale we can color it by feeding.
If you feed too much buckwheat the
yellow of the egg wilt be pale. We
feed yellow corn and wheat, two glu
tens, and in that way give a beautiful
hue to the yellow. We also feed quite
a good deal of corn, to produce fat.
How often do we pick up an egg in
the. winter with a shell so brittle that It
won’t stand shipping! Sometimes you
find an egg with nothing but tissue—no
shell at all. What is the matter wVh
that hen?
The shell is composed of lime and It Is
great drain upon the hen's system, to
produce the shell. They must have
lime enough to cover the egg with a
shell.
Clover is rich In protein and is rich in
lime. but. In addition to this, we slack
a little lime and put It Into the si I
box, and the hens will go there if they
require ft: and you will be surprised. If
you try it. at the difference in the re
sults.
What Is the result of this kind of
food .' 5\ e will break an egg 1n a
saucer and see. The white of the egg Is
thick, heavy; it Is attractive, nutrl
tlouß; the yellow of the egg is the
golden hue that’ was desired, and the
shell is firm and strong and will stand
shipment. There is the perfect egg,
just brought about by thinking the
matter over carefully, and feeding in
telligently.
How to eGt Rid of Chicken Flea
In answer to one of our readers, ears
The Progressive Farmer. Professor R. I.
Smith, of the North Carolina Agricul
tural Experiment station, wrote as fol
lows :
"1 received the bottle containing
chicken fleas. This is the common
name, and the flea is known to occur
on various animals as you have ob
served.
"The young stage of the fleas is a
worm that lives in dust or filth in
eracks in the chicken houses, barns
etc. For this reason the best method
of fighting them is to thoroughly clean
out nil houses in which they occur, and
treat all the floors with kerosene or
gasoline, or with boiling hot water if
you can use it more conveniently. The
ewe of carbolated vaseline is said to
be a good treatment for the infested
chirk-ns. ami should be equally effec
tive on other animals, it act# as a re
pellent and as a good Healing ointment.
' You must remember that when fleas
once get a foothold in buildings it is
not an easy matte) to exterminate
them, and unless you clean up thor
oughly and repeatedly, the treatment of
the animals themselves will be of ques
tionable value. The use of fine tobacco
dust, snuff or insect powder dusted in
the feathers of infested chickens or on
cats and dogs will ait a- a repellent."

Get Rid of Culls
Get rid of your “culls" just as soon
as possible after they are ready for
market. This Is an important matter
that is sometimes overlooked by breed
ers. Especially is this important where
space is limited.
“Culls” are a hindrance to the grow th
and development of the balance of the
flock, for several reasons. Neither
growing chicks nor the old fowls do
well in overcrowded quarters, and are
liable to contract disease and be
come lousy. Besides, the breeder is en
abled to give better care to the bal
ance of the floek after the culls are
out of the way. >
Cull closely, disposing of all speci
mens that show any permanent defect,
such as wry tails, crooked breastbone,
roach back, twisted back, feathers on
legs or toes in American. Spanish ano
other clean-legged breeds, and lack of
feathers on legs and toes in the Asiat
ic breeds, or any serious defect in
comb, wattles or earlobes.
In fact, get rid of all birds having
any defect that you know can not be
outgrow n. If raising market poultry ,of
course these defects cut no figure, but
even In this branch of the business
careful culling is desirable and profita
ble, as the flocks should be weeded out
and the non-productive birds discarded.
Evict Late Molters,
The hen that does not molt until in
the winter and takes all winter is one
there is little profit in keeping. They
will not usually lay until spring, but
thev eat feed just the same. Sell off
those that did not molt in the fall or at
least be feathering up before winter
.starts. The early molting hen is the
one to choose. Sometimes a hen does
not molt until winter, but keeps right
on laying all through the fall. Such
hens should lie let lay as long as they
will, ax eggs usually bring a good price
late in the fall. Then when they stop
laying sell them.
